North Canton Joins Veterans of
Civil and World Wars In Annual Memorial Observances
In the Cemeteries.
PARADE AND SPEECHES
All North Canton joined with the
veterans of the Civil, Spanish-American and World Wars when they conducted the ceremonies and observances
of Memorial day on Monday in St.
Paul's cemetery and in Zion and
Warstler cemeteries.
The parade of former soldiers, fraternal organizations, women's clubs
and school children, headed by the
Hoover band, was up to the standard
of past years, and the full program,
as printed in The Sun last week, was
carried out to the letter. The weather
bureau predicted showers, and at times
it did look as if rain would mar the
ceremonies, but umbrellas were not
necessary.
In St. Paul's Cemetery
Arthur Kolp, who saw service on the
battlefields of Prance, was grancl marshal, and performed liis duties in his
usual capable manner. The singing
of the children belonging to St. Paul's
school and the public school added
much to the impressiveness of the occasion, v . '
Post Commander Russel Gerber of
the American Legion was in charge
of the ceremonies, and Post Chaplain
E. J. Herbruck read the prayers. The
graves were decorated and a firing
squad paid honor to their sleeping
comrades. i
Address By W. H. Hoover
W. H. Hoover, before he introduced
Attorney William S. Foulks of East
Liverpool, paid a glowing tribute to
the men who fought in the Civil War
and the World War. He said he remembered well the first Memorial day
exercises, and he felt certain that if
an angel were to drop suddenly
among us the picture would be the
same the angel saw in cemeteries
years ago.' Always a firm believer in
the cause of peace, Mr. Hq'over hoped
the day would come "when nations
would settle their disputes without
resort to arms.
Attorney Foulk's Speech
Attorney Foulks, who holds high
office in the American Legion, saluted
the Civil War veterans seated in front
of him, and then launched into his
''address. He said the people were here
to again pay tribute to the memory of
our heroic soldier dead. It is a tribute
of honor and of love, and although
it originated in the south and was
brought to the north by General John
A. Logan when he was commander-
in-chief of the G. A. R., the sentiment that prompts it is broad enough
to embrace all who served America in
arms, from the Revolution to that of.
the crimsoned fields of France'. Memorial day is dedicated to the whole
past of American martial valor, self-
sacrifice, and triumph—to a past which
is ever secure and ever wilTbe an inspiration for the future.
Mr. Foulks praised the G. A. R. and
the American Legion. He declared |
the Legion was doing a great work
in teaching the young men of today
to meet their responsibilities just as
well as or even a little better than
their elders. To determine what lies
ahead he advised young men to consult older men in whom they felt confidence, and to study the past.
He warned his hearers ■ against the
pernicious and fallacious teachings of
men who were trying to spread the
Russian doctrine of destruction
among the peoples of the earth, and
especially in America, and he urged
everyone to be true to flag and country.

[Special to The Sun]
New York, June 1.—Recently some
members of the Church Temperance
society got together and passed a resolution in favor of amending the 18th
amendment, or as it is better known
the Volstead act7 Tliis society is composed of men and women residing in
the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
New York, and their action was • sent
broadcast to every part of the United
States.
Today the members of the Church
Temperance society are not feeling so
sure of their ability to "speak for others." Just when they were reading in
a number of wet newspapers what a
wonderful service they had performed
for humanity, the clear-headed Bishop
William T. Manning, head of this diocese, steps to the front and announces
that the society had no authority to
speak for the church.
Yesterday he added additional fuel
to the flames by announcing that while
he knew individuals had a perfect
right to speak for themselves as individuals they had no right to make
it appear that the communicants of
the Protestant Episcopal church favor
repealing or modifying the 18th
amendment.
"As a matter of fact," he said, "we
as-a body stand for active enforcement of the law, and we are absolutely opposed to modification in any
form."

Greensburg, June 1—[Special]—A
large crow,d attended the laying of
the corner-stone of the new high
school building on Monday afternoon,
former pupils and residents of this
place being among the number.
O. E. ' Bordner was chairman of
ceremonies^ which were sponsored by
local fraternalv orders. The invocation was by the Rev. W. D. Ramsey.
The stone was laid by D. C. Cooper,
first teacher after the organization
of the Greensburg high school.
Dr. Martin L. Pierce of North Canton delivered the address. He received
the closest attention, and he was
warmly applauded for his interesting
and' instructive speech.
The Rev. J. T. Miller pronounced
the benediction .and the South high
school band of Akron furnished good
music. An elaborate meal was later
served in Grange hall.

Now that the public schools are
closed until September and St. Paul's
is ready to" declare a summer vacation, the management of the Community Building announces two shows a
week, Tuesday and Friday nights. On
each occasion the regular features will
be shown.
On Friday .night, June 3, the picture
is "A Poor Girl's Romance," and there
is said to be plenty of color in the
production and many dramatic situations.
On Tuesday night, June 7, Hoot
Gibson comes, here in "The Texas
Streak," a wild and wooly drama of
the great Texas cattle country.
Gibson, posing as a gun-man from
Texas, when in, reality he is only; a
celluloid co.wbpy from Hollywood, gets
himself involved.in a feud between a
development company exploiting the
west and the., neighborhood rancher's,
who don't want their' ranches, developed. ■ . '" y
He cows the ranchers with many
carefully staged bits pf heroics.swag-
gers about the town in his chaps,
rented from a movie costume company, and. carries off his deception
without recognition or detection until
the war has come to.an end and he
announces his real identity of his own
will.

Zion Reformed Church
' [By.the Pastor]
Yes, the Memorial occasion affected
our attendance somewhat. Perhaps the
weather conditions also had something
to do with it. After all we had a fine,
busy school, and the very helpful lessons on the Life and Letters of St.
Peter prove inspiring, as do also the
graded lessons in the departments.
The morning service was planned to
fit into the spirit of the occasion. The
pastor spoke on the Unending Warfare
in the morning and in the evening- on
"The Believer Well Supplied." The
C; E. held their regular Sunday evening meeting at 6:30.
The Consistory will hold their regular meeting on Thursday evening at
7:30 o'clock.
The elementary school is having the j
Children's day service in charge for
which they are making preparations
and holding rehearsals.
Next Sunday's appointments will be
Sunday-school at 9, morning worship
at 10, C. E; at 6:30 in the evening.
The evening service will be omitted
on account' of the Memorial service
that' will be held in the Lutheran
church at 7:30 o'clock.

The large and beautiful poster displayed in the Schafer & Messerly

Last week it afforded The Sun great
pleasure to tell the world that Aaron
Warstler had been greeted by his old
comrades in arms and their ladies on
the anniversary of his birthday, but
this week 'it ■ is with genuine sorrow
that we record that this fine old gentleman passed away at his home on
South Main street, a victim of heart
disease, six days after his comrades
had visited his home in what proved
to be one of the most enjoyable occasions of'his long life, for he was 83
years of age on Saturday, May 21,J
1927. Surely it must be some consolation to Mrs. Arthur Warstler,
Aaron's daughter-in-law, to know
that she was instrumental in bringing
into their home the men her father-
in-law loved.
Funeral On Tuesday
Funeral services for Aaron Warstler were conducted on Tuesday after-
hoon, May 31. Brief services were
held in the home by McKinley Post
No. 25, G. A. R., of Canton. Services
were conducted at Zion Lutheran
church by the Rev. F. R. Sutter at
2:30 o'clock.
A large concourse of relatives and
friends gathered at this service,
among whom were about 23 veterans
of the Civil War and a group of
members of the American Legion.
The sermon was based on James 1:12.
Buried With Honors
Six menibers of the American Legion served a.s pall-bearers. In conjunction with the burial rites of the
Lutheran church the deceased was
given the honors of a military burial
in Zion cemetery in charge of the
Noi'th Canton post of the American
Legion.

from army service he was united in
marriage with Miss Maria Roush on
August 22, 18G7. Three children were
born to this union. The youngest,
Clarence Aaron, died in infancy. Two
children survive him, Mrs. Ada C.
Shoemaker, who resides northwest of
North Canton, and Arthur R. Warstler of the home, who has proven himself faithful in his devotion and service to his father, which particularly
was elicited by liis father's affliction
of blindness and the growing infirmities of age. Together witii his faithful wife he brought solace and comfort to the sunset years of the departed.
Mrs. Aaron Warstler preceded her
husband to rest in 191S.
Mr. Warstler has been a respected
resident of North Canton for over 55
years. On coming to this community
he' joined Zion Lutheran church of
which congregation he was a faithful
member, regular in his attendance at
worship as his age and declining
strength would permit, liberal and
consistent in his gifts in support of
the church. He looked to the Word
for instruction in truth and righteousness and was loyal to the principles
of the church of his youth and his
choice, the Church of the Reformation.
He was beloved and respected by his
comrades of McKinley Post, No. 25,
Grand Army of the Republic. Just a
little over a week ago he enjoyed with
these friends and members of their
families a happy anniversary celebration of his last and 83rd birthday. He
retained his mental faculties with
splendid clearness. He was a christian gentleman.
Indisposed On Saturday
Last Saturday afternoon he suffered
an indisposition. Early Sunday morning while his body was wrapped in
slumber his soul was called away. He
is survived by his two children, four
grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, one brother, Levi Warstler of

Aaron Warstler was written by his
friend, the Rev. F. R. Sutter, pastor
of Zion Lutheran church, North Canton:
Aaron Warstler was bom in Plain
township, about a half mile east of
the Warstler church. His parents
were Daniel Warstler and his wife
Catherine nee Lind. In his early infancy he was baptized and thus
brought into covenant relationship
with his Heavenly Father. In his
youth he reaffirmed his obligations in
confirmation in-the-Warstler Lutheran
church, being confirmed by the Rev.
Mr. Martens.
During the1 stirring days of the
Civil War, as a youth of- about 18
y^ars, he enlisted with his brother in
the defense and for the preservation
of our Rational Union. Four brothers
of this family of eight children enlisted for military service. Mr.
Warstler was assigned to Co. E., 104th
O. V. I. He saw service in Dixie, particularly in Tennessee, characteristic
of those strenuous, days of stirring action. It was during this period of military service that Mr. Warstler suffered an injury to his eye, through an
explosion, which soon caused him serious trouble and in a few years resulted in total blindness. This affliction he bore bravely as a good soldier
and for 58 years, he was deprived of
his eyesight.
Married In 1867
About two years after his return
tives and family associates. He-
reached the mature age of 83 years
and 8 days.
Grandfather Warstler has answered:
his last roll call. Although he looked
forward to honor the memory of his
comrades who are sleeping their long
sleep again on this Memorial day, his
ears to the firing of salutes and the
roll of the muffled drums, his loved
presence was not to be found in the
thinned ranks of his comrades on this
Memorial day. The Lord had called
him home.

North Canton Joins Veterans of
Civil and World Wars In Annual Memorial Observances
In the Cemeteries.
PARADE AND SPEECHES
All North Canton joined with the
veterans of the Civil, Spanish-American and World Wars when they conducted the ceremonies and observances
of Memorial day on Monday in St.
Paul's cemetery and in Zion and
Warstler cemeteries.
The parade of former soldiers, fraternal organizations, women's clubs
and school children, headed by the
Hoover band, was up to the standard
of past years, and the full program,
as printed in The Sun last week, was
carried out to the letter. The weather
bureau predicted showers, and at times
it did look as if rain would mar the
ceremonies, but umbrellas were not
necessary.
In St. Paul's Cemetery
Arthur Kolp, who saw service on the
battlefields of Prance, was grancl marshal, and performed liis duties in his
usual capable manner. The singing
of the children belonging to St. Paul's
school and the public school added
much to the impressiveness of the occasion, v . '
Post Commander Russel Gerber of
the American Legion was in charge
of the ceremonies, and Post Chaplain
E. J. Herbruck read the prayers. The
graves were decorated and a firing
squad paid honor to their sleeping
comrades. i
Address By W. H. Hoover
W. H. Hoover, before he introduced
Attorney William S. Foulks of East
Liverpool, paid a glowing tribute to
the men who fought in the Civil War
and the World War. He said he remembered well the first Memorial day
exercises, and he felt certain that if
an angel were to drop suddenly
among us the picture would be the
same the angel saw in cemeteries
years ago.' Always a firm believer in
the cause of peace, Mr. Hq'over hoped
the day would come "when nations
would settle their disputes without
resort to arms.
Attorney Foulk's Speech
Attorney Foulks, who holds high
office in the American Legion, saluted
the Civil War veterans seated in front
of him, and then launched into his
''address. He said the people were here
to again pay tribute to the memory of
our heroic soldier dead. It is a tribute
of honor and of love, and although
it originated in the south and was
brought to the north by General John
A. Logan when he was commander-
in-chief of the G. A. R., the sentiment that prompts it is broad enough
to embrace all who served America in
arms, from the Revolution to that of.
the crimsoned fields of France'. Memorial day is dedicated to the whole
past of American martial valor, self-
sacrifice, and triumph—to a past which
is ever secure and ever wilTbe an inspiration for the future.
Mr. Foulks praised the G. A. R. and
the American Legion. He declared |
the Legion was doing a great work
in teaching the young men of today
to meet their responsibilities just as
well as or even a little better than
their elders. To determine what lies
ahead he advised young men to consult older men in whom they felt confidence, and to study the past.
He warned his hearers ■ against the
pernicious and fallacious teachings of
men who were trying to spread the
Russian doctrine of destruction
among the peoples of the earth, and
especially in America, and he urged
everyone to be true to flag and country.

[Special to The Sun]
New York, June 1.—Recently some
members of the Church Temperance
society got together and passed a resolution in favor of amending the 18th
amendment, or as it is better known
the Volstead act7 Tliis society is composed of men and women residing in
the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
New York, and their action was • sent
broadcast to every part of the United
States.
Today the members of the Church
Temperance society are not feeling so
sure of their ability to "speak for others." Just when they were reading in
a number of wet newspapers what a
wonderful service they had performed
for humanity, the clear-headed Bishop
William T. Manning, head of this diocese, steps to the front and announces
that the society had no authority to
speak for the church.
Yesterday he added additional fuel
to the flames by announcing that while
he knew individuals had a perfect
right to speak for themselves as individuals they had no right to make
it appear that the communicants of
the Protestant Episcopal church favor
repealing or modifying the 18th
amendment.
"As a matter of fact," he said, "we
as-a body stand for active enforcement of the law, and we are absolutely opposed to modification in any
form."

Greensburg, June 1—[Special]—A
large crow,d attended the laying of
the corner-stone of the new high
school building on Monday afternoon,
former pupils and residents of this
place being among the number.
O. E. ' Bordner was chairman of
ceremonies^ which were sponsored by
local fraternalv orders. The invocation was by the Rev. W. D. Ramsey.
The stone was laid by D. C. Cooper,
first teacher after the organization
of the Greensburg high school.
Dr. Martin L. Pierce of North Canton delivered the address. He received
the closest attention, and he was
warmly applauded for his interesting
and' instructive speech.
The Rev. J. T. Miller pronounced
the benediction .and the South high

music. An elaborate meal was later
served in Grange hall.

Now that the public schools are

week, Tuesday and Friday nights. On
each occasion the regular features will
be shown.
On Friday .night, June 3, the picture
is "A Poor Girl's Romance," and there
is said to be plenty of color in the
production and many dramatic situations.
On Tuesday night, June 7, Hoot
Gibson comes, here in "The Texas
Streak," a wild and wooly drama of
the great Texas cattle country.
Gibson, posing as a gun-man from
Texas, when in, reality he is only; a
celluloid co.wbpy from Hollywood, gets
himself involved.in a feud between a
development company exploiting the
west and the., neighborhood rancher's,
who don't want their' ranches, developed. ■ . '" y
He cows the ranchers with many
carefully staged bits pf heroics.swag-

without recognition or detection until
the war has come to.an end and he
announces his real identity of his own
will.

Zion Reformed Church
' [By.the Pastor]
Yes, the Memorial occasion affected
our attendance somewhat. Perhaps the
weather conditions also had something
to do with it. After all we had a fine,
busy school, and the very helpful lessons on the Life and Letters of St.
Peter prove inspiring, as do also the
graded lessons in the departments.
The morning service was planned to
fit into the spirit of the occasion. The
pastor spoke on the Unending Warfare
in the morning and in the evening- on
"The Believer Well Supplied." The
C; E. held their regular Sunday evening meeting at 6:30.
The Consistory will hold their regular meeting on Thursday evening at
7:30 o'clock.
The elementary school is having the j
Children's day service in charge for
which they are making preparations
and holding rehearsals.
Next Sunday's appointments will be
Sunday-school at 9, morning worship
at 10, C. E; at 6:30 in the evening.
The evening service will be omitted
on account' of the Memorial service
that' will be held in the Lutheran
church at 7:30 o'clock.

Last week it afforded The Sun great
pleasure to tell the world that Aaron
Warstler had been greeted by his old
comrades in arms and their ladies on
the anniversary of his birthday, but
this week 'it ■ is with genuine sorrow
that we record that this fine old gentleman passed away at his home on
South Main street, a victim of heart
disease, six days after his comrades
had visited his home in what proved
to be one of the most enjoyable occasions of'his long life, for he was 83
years of age on Saturday, May 21,J
1927. Surely it must be some consolation to Mrs. Arthur Warstler,
Aaron's daughter-in-law, to know
that she was instrumental in bringing
into their home the men her father-
in-law loved.
Funeral On Tuesday
Funeral services for Aaron Warstler were conducted on Tuesday after-
hoon, May 31. Brief services were
held in the home by McKinley Post
No. 25, G. A. R., of Canton. Services
were conducted at Zion Lutheran
church by the Rev. F. R. Sutter at
2:30 o'clock.
A large concourse of relatives and
friends gathered at this service,
among whom were about 23 veterans
of the Civil War and a group of
members of the American Legion.
The sermon was based on James 1:12.
Buried With Honors
Six menibers of the American Legion served a.s pall-bearers. In conjunction with the burial rites of the
Lutheran church the deceased was
given the honors of a military burial
in Zion cemetery in charge of the
Noi'th Canton post of the American
Legion.

filled; one caused by the death of
Harry Evans, and two by expiration.

been chairman of the Membership
Committee since the Building opened,,
and that of C. F. McFadden, who has
been chairman of the Educational
Committee, have expired.

from army service he was united in
marriage with Miss Maria Roush on
August 22, 18G7. Three children were
born to this union. The youngest,
Clarence Aaron, died in infancy. Two
children survive him, Mrs. Ada C.
Shoemaker, who resides northwest of
North Canton, and Arthur R. Warstler of the home, who has proven himself faithful in his devotion and service to his father, which particularly
was elicited by liis father's affliction
of blindness and the growing infirmities of age. Together witii his faithful wife he brought solace and comfort to the sunset years of the departed.
Mrs. Aaron Warstler preceded her
husband to rest in 191S.
Mr. Warstler has been a respected
resident of North Canton for over 55
years. On coming to this community
he' joined Zion Lutheran church of
which congregation he was a faithful
member, regular in his attendance at
worship as his age and declining
strength would permit, liberal and
consistent in his gifts in support of
the church. He looked to the Word
for instruction in truth and righteousness and was loyal to the principles
of the church of his youth and his
choice, the Church of the Reformation.
He was beloved and respected by his
comrades of McKinley Post, No. 25,
Grand Army of the Republic. Just a
little over a week ago he enjoyed with
these friends and members of their
families a happy anniversary celebration of his last and 83rd birthday. He
retained his mental faculties with
splendid clearness. He was a christian gentleman.
Indisposed On Saturday
Last Saturday afternoon he suffered
an indisposition. Early Sunday morning while his body was wrapped in
slumber his soul was called away. He
is survived by his two children, four
grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, one brother, Levi Warstler of

Aaron Warstler was written by his
friend, the Rev. F. R. Sutter, pastor
of Zion Lutheran church, North Canton:
Aaron Warstler was bom in Plain
township, about a half mile east of
the Warstler church. His parents
were Daniel Warstler and his wife
Catherine nee Lind. In his early infancy he was baptized and thus
brought into covenant relationship
with his Heavenly Father. In his
youth he reaffirmed his obligations in
confirmation in-the-Warstler Lutheran
church, being confirmed by the Rev.
Mr. Martens.
During the1 stirring days of the
Civil War, as a youth of- about 18
y^ars, he enlisted with his brother in
the defense and for the preservation
of our Rational Union. Four brothers
of this family of eight children enlisted for military service. Mr.
Warstler was assigned to Co. E., 104th
O. V. I. He saw service in Dixie, particularly in Tennessee, characteristic
of those strenuous, days of stirring action. It was during this period of military service that Mr. Warstler suffered an injury to his eye, through an
explosion, which soon caused him serious trouble and in a few years resulted in total blindness. This affliction he bore bravely as a good soldier
and for 58 years, he was deprived of
his eyesight.
Married In 1867
About two years after his return
tives and family associates. He-
reached the mature age of 83 years
and 8 days.
Grandfather Warstler has answered:
his last roll call. Although he looked
forward to honor the memory of his
comrades who are sleeping their long
sleep again on this Memorial day, his
ears to the firing of salutes and the
roll of the muffled drums, his loved
presence was not to be found in the
thinned ranks of his comrades on this
Memorial day. The Lord had called
him home.
